There’s so much to do at the Walt Disney World Resort that it may actually overwhelm guests, especially if it’s their first time. Inside the Magic has put together multiple guides covering rides, attractions, shows, dining, entertainment, and, of course, parades that you can check out. If you happen to be looking for thrills but don’t want to wait in line for Space Mountain or Expedition Everest, look no further than Magic Kingdom. Sure, Magic Kingdom may be the busiest theme park destination on earth, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t attractions you can easily experience just by being at the right place at the right time.
We’re, of course, talking about parades and nightly shows, all of which are present at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kindom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. While all of these experiences are great in their own way, there’s nothing like witnessing Happily Ever After at Cinderella Castle at the end of a long day at Magic Kingdom. Even though Disney is, well, Disney, not everything goes to plan, with mistakes and accidents happening from time to time.
This happened at the Magic Kingdom recently, with a parade float crashing and breaking down. You can take a look at the photo below:

A traffic jam is the last thing you’d expect to see at the end of Main Street U.S.A., but like we said, sometimes accidents and technical difficulties are unavoidable. Anyone who’s ever visited a theme park knows that rides and attractions can break down from time to time, and while annoying, this is unavoidable.

As we said, Magic Kingdom is full of iconic rides and attractions, but a large portion of guests may choose to focus on the live entertainment offerings at the park rather than dark rides and roller coasters. The newest ride at Magic Kingdom is TRON Lightcycle/Run, a thrilling new roller coaster that opened at the start of 2023. This attraction’s construction was tumultuous, to say the least, with multiple delays and other operation issues affecting the opening timeframe. The construction of TRON Lightcycle/Run also affected Magic Kingdom’s beloved Walt Disney World Railroad, forcing it to suspend operations for nearly five years. This isn’t the only new roller coaster to open at Walt Disney World, with EPCOT receiving its first-ever coaster back in 2020.
The Walt Disney Company just hosted its Destination D23 event, revealing even more new and exciting projects are on the way. For more information regarding these special announcements, click here.
